Black Heart
A twisted narrative unfolds,
A fragile heart of darkness holds,
A treacherous journey’s choice,
Night’s enigma finds its voice.
Deep and somber secrets thrive,
In an evil heart, they come alive,
True to its darkness, it remains,
Midnight’s mystery it sustains.
A tale woven with fear and dread,
The sinister black heart, it’s said,
Unveils terror wherever it roams,
Whispers secrets in eerie tones.
Once pure, now veiled in deceit,
A heart’s secrets and lies repeat,
Obscured in shadows it endures,
Night’s enigma, it ensures.
In the shroud of nocturnal hue,
A constricted heart, its secrets accrue,
Dark lies echo through the night,
A heart’s malevolence takes flight.

Black Heart is a journey into the complexities of human nature and the shadows we often avoid confronting. For my readers, this piece offers a window into the darker sides of the heart, a place where secrets thrive and choices carry weight. Writing it, I wanted to capture the duality of purity lost to deceit and the haunting persistence of darkness when left unchecked. Through its imagery, the poem speaks to those moments when we wrestle with our inner conflicts, the tension between light and shadow, truth and lies. It’s a reminder that even the most seemingly impenetrable darkness once held purity, and that understanding its origins can illuminate paths to redemption—or warn us of paths best avoided.
I invite readers to reflect on their own journeys while reading this. What lies in the recesses of your own heart? What truths are hidden, and what fears are waiting to be confronted? Black Heart is not just about the sinister; it’s about the stories we all carry, the parts of ourselves we fear, and the resilience it takes to face them. Thank you for allowing me to share this narrative, and I hope it resonates in your reflections as much as it did in mine while writing it.
